Railways of Italy stretching along the coast and mountains crossed by only a few places. Therefore, it is easy to make travel between cities, located on the same coast, but the journey to another can take a long time, as they often train takes a detour and a transit transplantation in a nodal point. In the north of Italy-the situation is different. Here are a few hubs. The most important of them- is a Bologna.
Italian railways operated by Trenitalia. It consists of two major divisions: Divisione Trasporto Passeggeri a Media e Lunga Percorrenza (deals over long distances, corresponds to the long distance trains) and the Divisione Trasporto Regionale (trains, as a rule, within one or two neighboring regions, corresponding our train).
ONLINE BOOKING AND SCHEDULE ARE HERE: http://www.trenitalia.com
Types of trains in Italy are:
IC Intercity - in this type of trains there are the first and second class for passengers. First-class passengers can enjoy the air conditioning. Meals are served in accordance with the menu. Seats on trains can be reserved in advance, but only a part of IC trains require reservation of tickets. On some trains, additional charge for those who does not own the cards and tickets "Eurail" or "BTLC";

DIR Diretto - -the trains of this type is often use only a second-class seats;
Locale - these trains in Italy are often called "accelerato" and roughly corresponds to an ordinary train. These trains usually do not have first class, but not at peak hours in the cars and so freely and comfortably. Trains in certain areas, have their own names:
Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) - between Turin and Salerno, connecting Turin, Milan, Florence, Rome and Naples. The trip from Milan to Rome takes about 3 hours (by car on toll roads the same way can be done in about 6-7 hours);

Passengers who have more than 60 years of age or less than 26 years are eligible for discounted rates when buying train tickets at the Italian train. After buying tickets, before boarding the train they need to be validated in special machines that are usually at the beginning of the platform. The fact that the train tickets are valid for six hours and if the tickets are not validated, the supervisors will think you're going to use the tickets repeatedly and you will be fined. In Italy there is the possibility of refunds of unused tickets. Refunded for the tickets that are purchased no more than a year ago. On all unused tickets to the office where the ticket was bought, stamp and money refunded minus 15%. Tickets can be purchased in the ordinary office at the train station (preferably knowledge of Italian to communicate with the cashier) in the machine (preferably the presence of a plastic card, because there may not be back) or visit the Italian railways (you can buy the cheapest tickets, but not without difficulty - please, read instructions on purchasing tickets). If a ticket without specifying the place, date and time of departure, they can be used on any train on this route within 2 months after purchase. When boarding a train should look at the numbers 1 or 2 on the doors and windows of cars (as well as permitting and prohibiting smoking sign for those to whom this is important). These figures indicate the class of car, and you should not, having the ticket in coach class 2, to take place in the carriage of a higher category - in principle, it is with you in the right to demand payment.
At each station there are placards with the schedule of arriving and departing trains. At top in large letters written ARRIVO (arrival) or PARTENZA (departures). In the latter case, the most typed in large print a route destination, and under them more chalk to published major intermediate stations, in parentheses after each item indicates the time of arrival.

Italy: At the railway station of Florence should be more circumspect
Railway passengers leaving from Florence, stands to be careful and less trusting, and not to use "voluntary" assistants who then demand for their servants 20 euros or more.

Corriere della Sera presented a video in which a man and a woman helped tourists, bringing luggage to the train station Santa Maria Novella. After the kind promise to help in the delivery of baggage, gang members demanded more than 20 euros each person, which has been given a "free care."

Railway workers tried to put gang members out of the car, and one noted that it is not just extortionists and thieves who rob passengers.

But apart from that, there are also those who help passengers to buy tickets from the machine, and then demand money for the "selfless" help.

Passenger loses not only time consuming but also physically tired, especially in the case of heavy luggage.

Infrastructure changes, in line with expectations, can increase exponentially as the transits of Fiumicino in general and the use of trains as a vehicle if necessary to get to Fiumicino. No coincidence that the governor Nicola Dzingaretti put this promise between the first points of his election program.
